Graphics card connection to the power supply

[Dsmith18]

Hi, my graphics card (Asus Strix gtx 1070 OC) has a single 8 pin connector for the power supply, the problem is, my PSU (EVGA Supernova 650 G2) only came with two 6 + 2 and 6 pin connectors for the VGA. Would it be ok if I used the 6 + 2 from the cable and just left the additional 6 pin hanging?

It should be fine.

That's exactly how it's intended to work, yes.

You can tie back the unused connectors if you don't want to just leave them hanging.
